Tells you what it does, tells a story, and then takes you right to the action. And it converts well for the market it serves.
Feel free to tell us what you think still sucks about it, constructive criticism > positive feedback.
Quick question. Where do the designers / developers find assets? Or do they create them from scratch? One such 'assets' I've manage to find recently is https://mockuphone.com (no affiliation), but apart from that there isn't much besides the usual. Fontawesome, pexels and the lot.
A bit of both. Lots of designers/devs will use existing assets to save time. They often pull materials from asset packs that other designers publish, as you mentioned (The Noun Project also comes to mind). On the other hand, a lot of designers make it a point of pride to make their own assets from scratch. I'm certainly in the later camp, though I have friends in the former. It's nice to be able to say "I made everyt…

Hey, thanks for the feedback on Roast My Site! It's actually my hobby project and I put it together in a couple days time. Its still in early development stages, a lot of things are missing and some are not working. Also, since there was no official launch, there is no traffic or users to actually submit sites and/or roasts. But they are coming soon and I think its going to be fun :D
Has anybody ever submitted Roast My Site to itself?

Actually it isn't. It does not talk about a lot of important details/questions one might wonder before downloading the app, like: - "how does this app do it" - "how is this app any different than macOS's Do Not Disturb feature" - "where's the source code for this app, why would I trust this software with full access to my compute (it requires that)"

I have a few qualms with this app: [1] 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by writing a shell script, compiling your own custom X server, and then monitoring the screen state for full-screen apps. For Windows or Mac, you just remote desktop to your Linux box with built-in software. 2. It doesn't actually reroute the notifications. Most people I know want to be able to per…
if you think compiling a custom X server is "trivial", we must have very different ideas about what that word means

That's a nice project. I'll have to take a deeper look into it. Is there a central place where these types of projects pop up?
The best approach I've found is just to follow popular designers (on twitter, podcasts, etc). When they talk about something cool, dig in and learn who made it, and follow that person to see what cool things they talk about. Repeat.
Maybe start with @brad_frost and @vlh.
